2019 BMW R 1250 GS Brakes Problems

“Checking recalls for my vehicle. Found incident reports regarding leaking front brake calipers. I checked mine. There is an oily film all over on the right side front caliper. There is an oily film on the inside of the left side front caliper. It appears that the casting for the calipers is pourous and allows the brake fluid to slowly seep out. The rear brake caliper (which I use less) felt dry, but has sticky brake dust on the underside of the outer part of the caliper. …”

“Just got a new 2019 r1250 gs demo with 140 miles on it, drove an additional 200 miles and after the bike was parked for a few days, I noticed brake fluid dripping off the left front caliper / fork and wetness from the seam on the right front caliper. I called the dealer and alerted them to the problem , service man says they have other Bmw r1250gs with the same leaking calipers. These new hayes 2 piece calipers are not as good compared to the original brembo monoblock calipers from the previous year. I am parking the bike till I can get new brembo calipers installed on my dime”

By going away I mean rear brake pedal travel becomes very long with no positive stop when the brake finally works. Very soft feel thru the brake activation. Takes a stomp with my heel to lock the rear. Dealer has bled and even done a tsb procedure given by bmw to correct. Technical Service Bulletin SIB 34 01 21. Same result. No rear after riding a bit. Putting safety at risk is self explanatory. …”

“4/2021 Prior to 4/2021, I had complained verbally with visits and calls to the dealership about an intermittent (CC ) Cruise Control issue. They could not find a problem w/the CC. I now consider this issue is related to the rear caliper ceasing. 5/30/2022 (RC) Rear caliper ceased without any indications. The (MC) motorcycle, presented w/a power loss otherwise unknowingly to me until later in the ride. Caliper appeared to cease causing heat scorched rear pads, caliper very hot. I smelled brake burn upon slowing down, noticing both power loss and my CC not working. …”
